Kenya / Rwanda – Complete ban on plastic bags

Due to new legislation of the Kenyan and Rwandan authorities, a complete ban on the use of plastic bags has been enforced in Kenya and Rwanda. Travellers are no longer allowed to carry any plastic bags when entering the country. Aimed at reducing plastic pollution, the ban applies to the use, manufacture and importation of the banned plastics within Kenya and Rwanda. Please be sure not to be in possession of plastic bags whatsoever as to ensure that fines are not incurred. If you have a bag containing tax free purchases, we advise you to remove it and leave the plastic bag at the entry points. These measures do not affect your flight schedule. Our apologies for the inconvenience.
